Application fil d September 5,1905. Serial No. 277,084.

To (all whom ztmwy concern:

Be it'known that I, LUTHER A. YErsER, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Garment-Hooks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention consists of an improved hook particularly designed for use on garments; one object of the invention being to provide a hook of such construction that its thread holding eyelets cannot be pulled apart or caused to overla each'other.

Another object of the invention is to so arrange the wire forming the garment hook that an auxiliary thread holding eyelet is rovided and that at such a place upon said book as will ermit its being sewn to a garment and heid at three points in such man- :ner as will firmly and immovably retain the hook as a whole in a given position.

These objects I attain as hereinafter set forth, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, in which:-

Figure 1, is a plan view of one form of my improved hook; Fig. 2, is aside elevation of the hook shown-in Fig.1 Fig. 3, is ahorizontal section of the hook shown in Fig. 2, the same being taken on the line 33 of said figure Fig. 4, is a vertical section of the hook shown in Fig. 2, taken on the line 4-4 of said figure; Fig. 5, is a plan view of a form of my improved hook with the auxiliary thread holding eyelet omitted; Fig. 6, is a side elevation of the structure shown in Fig. 5; Fig, 7, is a horizontal section of the hook shown n Fig. 6, the same being taken on the line 7-7 of said figure, and Fig. 8,is a vertical section taken on the line 8S, Fig. 6.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 4 of the above drawings, it will be seen that myimproved hook consists of a. single wire bent to form two thread holding eyelets A and A tied together, with an auxiliary thread holding eyelet (I at the end of the hook opposite that having the eyelets A and A. It will be seen that, starting at the thread holding eyelet A, the wire of the hook runs from this toward the rear of the bill B and is then bent upward] y, extended forwardly and then rearwardly to form the bill. From the rear of the bill it extends downwardly and forwardly to form the second thread holding eyelet A, from which it extends between the Side members a and a of the bottom of the hook to the rear thereof" and is then bent upbill, it bein curved downwardly and 'wardly and out as shown in Fi 3; being finally curved into the eyelet C an having its end 0 held in engagement with the interior-of the back I eyelet C 1s preferabl made to lie in substantially the same p ane as that-of. the eye lets A and A and, in addition to providing an extra or third eyelet serves to stiffen the hook as well as to prevent the accidental springing of the catch or hump a with consequent re lease of the eye.

In order to revent the possibility of the eyelets A and being pulled apart or caused to evade one another the end a of the wire.

is extenr ed from the eyelet A over the section of wire a and the intermediate section a and is finall bent downward within the rear of the eye et A so as to lock or tie together said two eyelets. It will be noted, moreover, that by so'placing this end a of the wire,-the space at the rear of the eyelet A, throu h" which the holding threads for the hook have been frequently found to escape, is com letely filled. The intermediate section a o the wire extending along the hump or holding portion a".

In Figs. 5 to 8 inclusive, I have shown a form of hook in which the auxiliary eyelet C is omitted and the intermediate wire a extended between the two wires formin the Forming a secon hump a In any case, I preferably tie the two eyelets A and A together by means of the end a? of the wire. In Figs. 5 and 6 I have shown a form of eye D particularly designed for use with hooks of the class to which my invention belongs, this eye having two thread holding eyelets E and F/ and a hook-engaging loopprojecting in a plane inclined at a relatively acute angle to the plane of said eyelets.

From the above it will be seen that it isa practical impossibility to separate the two thread holding eyelets A and A of a hook made accordin r to my invention, while such a hook may, if esired, be held at three points art of the hook. This. auxiliary base of the hook is provided with a curved to its supporting fabric by means of properly placed stitches in the eyelets A, A and C.

Iclaim 1. A arment hook having a base ortion formed 30y three substantially paral el sec tions of the same wire, certain portions of said wire being bent to form thread eyelets I and one of its ends being engaged with a phi- IXO r'ality of said parallel sections to prevent separation of the same, substantially as described.

2. A garment hook made ofa sin le piece of wire having two adjacent threa eyelets and three substantially parallel portions extions of the same wire, certain ,portions of said wire beingbent to form thread. eyelets, and'one of its ends being engaged with a plurality of said parallel sections to revent separation of the same, a portion of t e wire comprising the hook "being bent to form/a hump, substantially as described.

4. A garment hook consistin of a piece of wire bent to form athread ho ding eyelet, said wire being extended from said eyelet and then curved upwaI dly and forwardly and again to the rear to form a bill, being then extended from the rear of said bill downwardly and forwardly, then curved to form a second thread holding eyelet, and being finally extended rearwardl intermediate its other two sections, the rst end of said wire being engaged with said intermediate extending portion, and one of the sections parallel therewith, to lock to ether said parts, substantially as describe 5. A garment hook consisting of a piece of wire bent to form a thread. holding eyelet, said wire being extended from said eyelet and then curv d upwardly and forwardly and again to the rear to form a bill, extended fromthe rear of said bill downwardly and forwardly, being then curved to form a second thread holding eyelet and extended rear.- wardly intermediate its two side sections, said intermediate section being curved outwardly between one side section and the bill, and then bent around the rear of the hook to a position between the other side section and the bill to form an auxiliary thread holding eyelet, with means for locking together the two thread holding eyelets, substantially as described.

6. A garment hook consisting of a piece of Wire bent to form a thread holding eyelet,

said wire being extended from said eyelet and then curved upwardly and forwardly and again to the rear to form a bill, being then exhook havin a base ortion tended from the rear of said bill downwardly and forwardly, then curved to form a second thread holding eyelet, and being finally extended rearwardly intermediate its other two sections, the first end of said wire being caused to tie together parts of the two thread holding eyelets, substantially as described.

7. A garment hook consisting of a piece of Wire bent to form a. thread holding eyelet, said wire being extended from said eyelet and then curved upwardly and forwardly and again to the rear to form a bill, extended from the rear of said bill downwardly and forwardly, being then curved to form a second thread holding eyelet and extended rearwardly -intermediate its two side sections, said intermediate section bring curved outwardly between one side SBCtiOIl and the bill,

and then .bent around the rear of the hook to a position between the other side section and the bill to form an auxiliary thread holding eyelet, with means for locking together the two thread holding eyelets, substantially as described.

8. A garment. hook consisting of a piece of wire bent to form a thread holding eyelet, said wire being extended from said eyelet and then curved upwardly and forwardly and again to the rear to form a bill, extended from the rear of said bill downwardly and forwardly, being then curved to form a second. thread holding eyelet and extended rearwardly intermediate its two side sections, said intermediate section being curved outwardly between one side section and the bill, and then bent around the rear of the hook to a position between the other side section and the bill to form an auxiliary thread holding eyelet, substantially as described.

9. A garment hook constructed of a single piece of wire bent'to form a shank having at one end attaching eyes and at its opposite end a bill, an integral spring tongue having therein an ofiset forming a de tent, andan attaching eye formed on the end of said tongue,

said eye being bent around and encircling the bill of. the hook, the end of the eye terminating between the bill and the shank of the hook, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
